MCG Commissioner V Uma Shankar said, “We did several things to make people aware about property tax. We organised tax camps in many societies and commercial establishments. Residents, too, responded enthusiastically. That’s why we were able to collect a good amount.”

Residents are happy too, as they feel this money will be utilised for the development of the city.

Mukesh Bansal, a resident of Sector 45, said, “With the formation of Gurgaon Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) and a good revenue earned by the MCG, we certainly hope that the city will look even better. Our problems will be sorted out quicker, and the infrastructure will be improved.”

GP Garg, a resident of Sushant Lok 1, said, “It’s good that the MCG has earned a good revenue. It should take over our society without any delay. Roads of our society are in a real bad shape, and the builder is not doing anything to maintain them.”
